I get at least a half dozen, I believe, of those sites, and justdid not take the time to go look it up. Thanks for doing so.

I guess I was struck not by the word, but the meaning.Reminds me of a vine that grows around this neck of thewoods, called "wandering jew", also a form of "creeping jenny".And the 'gypsy' concept, an unappreciated term used for theRoma. Or perhaps the Australian "walkabout", or theterm "take a hike", for 'scram'.
